Description

I dedicate this to Kipweb as he offered me advice about a Sigma telephoto lens and this is one of many captures already.I never got a good shot of a large bird and without the lens, I would still not have one. I am not using a tripod or monopod, but I did brace myself against a bridge railing. thanks so much for your many comments and visits

Turned out fantastic! My lenses are Nikon mount Sigmas. I have been very happy with them. Need to actually upload some photos. When you used to do it as part of your job it loses some charm, LOL!

We do not have such a bird in our area, other than the great Heron. They are such beautyful creatures. Thank you for sharing. egmont

Oh, I am so jealous!! I have yet to catch a green heron and you were lucky enough to see one!! Is this somewhere near Dallas??? I thought one had to be near the coast to see them!!
